It's over the limit NO. By definition, the speed limit is the fastest you can legally drive.

Additional information:

Technically speaking, the speed limit signs in every state mean what they say. The speed limit is 50; the speed limit is 80. Realistically speaking Texas appears to have a fairly liberable ticketing policy, and being a primarily rural state, some of the interstate speed limits are 75 and 80. The Texas Dept. of Transportation's website says: Speed limits are posted primarily to inform motorists of the speed considered reasonable by a majority of drivers on a particular roadway. Motorists, especially those unfamiliar with the road, can use this information to evaluate how they should drive on a particular road. A safer driving environment is established when motorists drive at the same speed.

There seem to be more warnings than tickets given out in Texas. See the reference below for more information.

In new state can you leally drive over the speed limit?

There is no state in which you can legally drive over the legal speed limit. Yup, there is no state where it is legal to do illegal things. However, there are some states that have higher speed limits than others. I believe that Pennsylvania still has a 55 mph speed limit, where Florida has some stretches of highway where 75 mph is the legal limit. At one time, Montana had (and may still have -- you may want to check) a stretch of highway that has no legally set speed limit. However, there is a difference between driving over the limit and having no limit. So in answer to your question: There is no state that has a law that says you can legally break the law.

Is legal for non resident ctive duty military to drive in Texas?

Yeah. There is a thing called the two of three rule in all states. As long as your home of record and your drivers license are for the same state or your car and drivers license are from the same state you are legal. If the car you are driving is registered somewhere other than Texas and you have a license from one state other than Texas and your home of record some place else, you would be illegal. But as long as two of those three are the same you are legal to drive anywhere.
